Abstract
A blockout blind system includes side tracks fitted with brushes in conjunction with a pelmet fitted with flaps ensure no light can pass around the blind. The flaps and brushes have offset apertures either side of the blind to allow for airflow thus preventing the blind being sucked out or pushed in by open or leaking windows and air conditioning systems. The system also conceals the chain for operating the blind thus eliminating strangulation hazards for children and animals. The design allows the system to be fitted to existing roller blinds.
